New X850XT is pissing me off

ok saw the video, I agree looks like a driver problem, did you switch from an Nvidia card? if so you should run driver cleaner. If not uninstall-> reinstall drivers, make sure chipset drivers are installed also.
 
Yea I did not come from a Nvidia straight from another ATi which was a x300....I will do driver cleaner and reinstall drivers which I did about a million times... my motherboard is a DFI lanparty Ultra-D
 
I am gonna try catalyst 5.5 possibly... talking to some other people they suggested older drivers and if not it can possibly be overheating but what doesn't make sense is why would it be overheating when I am not using the drivers compared to when I am.
 
did you install an aftermarket cooler? could be a heat issue, I've seen cards run fine in 2d, when you start a 3d app they crash like yours is doing after installing aftermarket. had this happen with a zalman vf 900 and the TIM they give you, used AS and worked fine.
 
When I was using 5.5 it seemed to work a little better (I was actually able to get into catalyst) but then I got kicked off with the static thing right away and then it would cycle between a black screen and a the static screen with vpu recovery thing...I got a video of it so I will try to post it.
 
There's really only three things that cause video problems, more than one driver, which you've taken care of, too much heat, and a psu that isn't powerful enough. Try it with the side panel removed. If it still does it, your psu isn't powerful enough.
 
Well me and a couple of other people from different forums are now leaning too it being I am not using the right PSU to PCI-E connector... My PSU is a TT Purepower 560watt... the connector I am using is 1 molex to the pci-e connector.
 
pull the card out and stick it into other rigs if you really can't figure it out. you might even have a messed up Radeon card.

my X800 Pro doesn't want to boot up with 2 gigs of memory in my 865G system without a BIOS tweak. even in stable OS environments, the system freezes from too much multitasking. my RAM and the video card just don't like each other, I doubt there is anything defective, ran tests and everything is fine to test point aftermaths. BIOS update, foxconn has really crappy support for BIOS updates on boards that they do not offer recognition for anymore - must be part of their campaign to market "new" products.

second link looks VERY like damaged card to me...probably damaged memory.

Could be drivers, i dont want to scare you..but i had a X850XT once which had the same symptoms (those patterns on the desktop)....RMAd it and the new card didnt have any of those flaws.

I wouldn't go through ATI for help. I'm over 1 month into my ticket with them for my x850, it was almost 4 weeks before I got a non-automated response. Could be someone tried a BIOS flash on it that failed, you just don't know with open box. I've been having a world of image retention issues (previous scene ghosts onto the subsequent during DVD playback). I think ATI has some real quality issues with the x850 line, I'd definitely return it to NewEgg as with ATI it'll take a month before they grant an RMA.
